Kennedy v. State

Defendant, Emma Breen Kennedy, convicted by a jury of second-degree murder and sentenced to a term of from twenty to twenty-one years, has appealed, contending that she was deprived of the right of counsel, that her written confession was inadmissible as not being voluntarily given, that the evidence is insufficient to sustain a verdict of murder in the second degree, and that certain statements of the court made in the presence of the jury were prejudicial to her.
